The Trade Negotiations Department has agreed to compare the texts of the proposed Thailand-EU Free Trade Agreement with those of other countries after concerns raised by activists that Thailand is being treated unfairly.
Director-general Piramol Charoenpao said staff would investigate activists' claims that the EU has agreed not to require the so-called Trips-plus provisions in its FTA with some other countries, including India.
The department will also compare the initial text of the proposed Thailand-EU FTA and the agreement which the EU will make with other countries such as Singapore and Vietnam.
